Unique puzzle platformer launches today.

By IGN Staff

Dundee, UK - YoYo Games, the leading portal for user-generated game content, is pleased to announce the launch of Karoshi for iOS devices today. Karoshi is an innovative puzzle-platformer that features a unique twist, which sees players helping their character to end it all rather than keeping them alive.

In Karoshi players must help Mr. Karoshi, an overworked Japanese businessman, to end his life rather than wait for the inevitable 'Kar&#Array;shi'. Puzzles fiendish enough to tax any player's brain await Mr. Karoshi as he tries to attain his goal, where lateral thinking and eureka moments are the name of the game, and a good bout of head-scratching will lead to a range of hilarious and surprising solutions across the game's 50 different puzzle stages.

Karoshi is available to download and purchase for iPhone and iPad from today, 9th February 2011, priced at 0.59 UK/$1.00 respectively. The Android version is due to launch very shortly.
